Will FA, trades and contracts etc. happen? Seems like the exact minute the new CBA is structured would be a clusterfug of poo going on. I'd think they would have their homework cut out for them to see what these players have been doing with their time and making sure they have used it wisely.

Well I figured that was a given since it was the reason we were all shortchanged last year.

I just want to know if I'll be reading something like "5 minutes after the new cba was reached the Panthers signed ____, ____ and ___."

Question is, will the panthers actually make moves to acquire talent from Free Agency? If so, what position will they choose to fill first.

The other lingering question.. What will they do with smith?

i really don't think it is a question of "will they". if they want to be able to reach the cap minimum, they'll have to. and they've been talking a lot about it.

i don't think they have an order of positions they'd like to get first. they have a list of positions they want to address (which rivera has mentioned) and they've got guys they have been looking at. whether its DT or WR or LB or OL...i don't think it matters to them. they'll be dealing with all of it at the same time.

what they do with smith will largely have to do with how they feel about FAs available and who they acquire, imo.

I'd hope that a big time free agent out of (cough) Oakland is on in our "go get em" list! We need a CB gentlemen... Especially in our Division!!

Wonder where. Wonder if it will be to a team that wants him and will willing to give up a 2nd to 3rd rounder? That way the panthers can try and get Devier Posey in the supplemental draft. Give up a 4th or 5th for him.

Honestly ill be surprised if someone coughs up a 3rd for smith.

That is the problem for me as well. A third in next year's draft for a our leading receiver and clearly half the passing game. There is no way that is a fair deal for him. I would rather make him play it out here and see what he can do with Newton. If Cam can extend plays with his feet and buy Smith time to uncover, he could be Smitty's best friend next year.

I agree. I rather smith stick it out one more year here. Who knows, he might like it with the new offense and QB? I love the guy to death, but if he all of a sudden want out of carolina. You can't change the guys mind. He's classy and so is JR, so I know that they won't have an ugly divorce.

Peppers wasn't worth a high third or a second rounder but I'm sure we would have rather had that than the last pick in round three. Might as well sell while the price is as good as it is...next year we may not be able to move him for less that a fifth rounder if he has another bad season.

5 Minutes is a little too soon... Nobody wants to get investigated for tampering, of which I'm sure every team is doing in some way, shape, or form.

      Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game

      I agree.  The Big 12 is a good conference, and he is the swinging dick in that conference.  If Bill Self retires, that sets Kansas back a bit, and Arizona moves even further ahead as the best team in that conference.  Arizona can crush west coast recruiting with USC / UCLA no longer being relevant for LA kids, and Gonzaga not being able to compete moneywise.   If Lloyd comes here, he will be second fiddle to Duke every single year in NIL and recruits.  Not to mention the entire SEC and Big East for kids who want to stay in those regions to play. This is why I keep saying go get Mark Few.  Has proven he can do more with less from an X / O perspective but can also recruit All American players and compete at a high level. He's a god at Gonzaga, but for $9M he'd make the move as that's 4x what he's making at Gonzaga, and makes him the highest paid coach in the country.

      Certainly not going to miss his constant whiffs on sacks and tackles.
